Question 1

i have a ph level of 9.0 in my urine what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Cannot really say...: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, this would indicate a particular type of urinary infection. Of course metabolic diseases/kidney diseases, food with a lot of alkali , many medications, other causes......

Question 2

can high creatinine levels cause urine foam?

Accepted Answer

See details: Foamy urine usually indicates elevated protein in the urine more than an elevated creatinine.

Question 3

my urine ph level was 7.5 and the urine looked really cloudy what does thie indicate?

Accepted Answer

Possible infection: Cloudy urine may signal an infection. Other symptoms of urinary tract infection include frequency, burning and lower abdominal discomfort. A health care provider can help sort this out.

Question 4

is a urine creatinine level of 2.04 mmol/l worrysome?

Accepted Answer

No: Creatinine in the urine is measured only to compare with other substances -- it's an estimate of whether your urine is concentrated or dilute.  You may have drunk an extra glass of water.

Question 5

is the level of eloctrocytes measurered by taking a urine or a blood sample?

Accepted Answer

Both: You can check electrolytes in urine &amp; serum  (blood).  Serum is the common one.

Question 6

what is a considered high protein level in urine?

Accepted Answer

Proteinuria: Protein is normally not found in urine. The usual system used to quantify protein is 0, trace, and then 1+ to 4+. So there is a source of protein in the urine and the meaning of this needs to be looked at with any other lab abnormalities, signs/symptoms, clinical context.

Question 7

does hcg stay in your urine longer than your blood?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The HCG is present in the urine any time it is present in the blood.  The urine pregnancy tests require a certain (low) level to be detected - it would be detectable in the blood before it would be detectable in the urine, and after it was no longer detectable in the urine.

Question 8

what is the normal level of wbc in urine?

Accepted Answer

None: Entirely normal urine should not have any WBC. In a sediment of urine, there should be fewer than 5 WBC per high power field.

Question 9

what should be done for high levels of protein in urine?

Accepted Answer

High urine protein: To treat high proteinuria (p), you need to get a diagnosis. The first step is to have a 24 hour urine collection to assess kidney function and quantify the p/day. Blood work will also need to be taken to arrive at a diagnosis. If the p is due to a type of glomerulonephritis, certain drugs can be given to treat it. If the p is due to diabetes, certain drugs such as ace-i's are used to lower the p.

Question 10

what are possible causes of high levels of protein in urine?

Accepted Answer

See Nephrologist: 3 levels of protein in urine:
microalbuminuria--less than 300 mg a day
tubular--300-1000 mg a day
nephrotic--more than 3500

if there is blood in the urine you may have a glomerulonephritis and this may be a very serious condition that causes rapid loss of kidney function.  

In general the more protein in the urine the worse the prognosis.
There are too many diagnosis to list.  
You need a workup.
